I've never heard of this tommyrot. But then again, I'm not superstitious in the least bit.

Is it a bad luck thing? Superstition?

I'm just following my mother's tradition of taking it down on Three Kings Day.

Apparently. Mind you, this is coming from a country where it was long believed that if you picked up an unattended comb in the street you would die.

Probably just echoes of Catholicism, doing it on epiphany.

Maybe. My aunt (99 this year) told me that it was believed that the comb had been dropped by a banshee (an Irish spirit who would keen and wail in the night, presaging a death) and that anyone who picked it up would be marked and targeted by the spirit, and would then die. Bloody Irish, huh??

Ah the banshee thing, now it seems familiar.

Apparently if you refuse a mince pie at Christmas dinner you will have bad luck for the rest of the day.
